  • Not as good as previous season beginning, but stills being so cool

    8.5
    "Great"
    By Roces24, Apr 05, 2010 Report Abuse
    After the climatic and unforgettable ending of the last season, 24 is back with another more plots with a lot of suspense and action.

    The second season of 24 has an engaging beginning which involves you and new characters who attracts you including the most previous roles from the first season, being the best of all the main character: the great Jack Bauer. Kiefer Sutherland does a truly phenomenal job with his role, making a new twist in his character: a new Bauer, colder and more sadistic.

    But there is a problem: the script is fine and the new plot is very good, but there is a feeling which shows that this beginning is not as great as the previous and the level has decreased.

    But don't be worried about that. 24 and Jack Bauer are back to the place and promises you to be great and suspenseful in this new season.moreless

    This episode was great because the emotional level played.

    After one year, Jack no longer work for CTU, suffering with his lost, with a lot of beard, and trying to work out in realionship wit his ddaughter in vain for now. It is not difficult to feel sorry for him.

    Palmer is now the President of the USA. A new treat arrives, and we know that is worse then the last season, because it is a nuclear bomb that will go off today.

    What make this episode get only 8.5 is because Jack, since this new family drama is boring.

    Kim again is in trouble, since she cant be captured again.

    Tony and michelle are now on the main cast.

    Palmer starts to have some minor problems in his administration and the Badass Jack we all Know is back in the end of this episode.

    OVerral, a 8 episode, that have much credit because of Jack and Palmer Scenes.moreless

  • Another long day..

    "Great"

    Mm.. so year has passed from the events that ended tragically and Bauer looks like.. mm.. first sight he reminds me Formula 1 driver Nick Heidfeld but he just looks so much as not him.. and he acts out of char too but that is all excusable as they really show his fall after he had worked so hard that all of them could be together. And that failed. Teri is gone and Kim does not want to talk with him. So, quite desperate situation but no troubles. I really like the emotional level they have build for Bauer.. and for Kim and Tony also (so great to see him as main cast)

    The crises itself.. Maybe it is just going on but mainly for me this episode was about showing what had happened with Bauer and less about what is going to happen on that day.moreless

  • The start of the best season.

    "Good"
    By ArtCorvelay, Aug 07, 2008 Report Abuse
    Pure brilliance. and it only gets better! Season one was classic and this season is no different. Day 2 is brilliant in every sense of the word. the stakes are high and the story is flawless. 24 will use this storyline again in seasons 4 and 6 but they do not come any where close to day 2. the plot, the twists, the charachter developments, all of them are pure genius. jack is back and better than ever. the warner storyline starts off seemingly predictable but it will eventually blow your mind. season 2 will live on forvever as one of the greatest thrillers of all time, tv and movie.moreless
